Harrington, WA

Tucked into the rolling wheat country of Lincoln County, Harrington is a quiet farming town about an hour west of Spokane. It has deep agricultural roots, which you can see in its wide streets, grain elevators, and sturdy brick downtown. For anyone looking to escape the bustle of the city, Harrington offers wide-open skies and a tight-knit, peaceful community where people look out for one another.

Despite its small size, the town has plenty of personality. The beautifully restored Harrington Opera House hosts everything from concerts to community theater, and you will also find a local nine-hole golf course, a city park, and favorite gathering spots like the historic Electric Hotel. Between car shows in the summer, fall festivals, and the annual Hometown Christmas, there are plenty of reasons for neighbors to get together throughout the year.
